The Stock Market Will Not Do What You Expect

31 minutes

In this episode of Financial Clarity for Doctors, hosts Corey Janoff and Rachelle Vanderzanden talk through some stock market noise. It’s hard to know when to listen to headlines and what information to heed. What we listen to as investors and what the movers and shakers listen to may be very different.

Discussion in this episode include:

The focus of retail investors, including local news, conflicts, prices close to home, and talking heads like Ray Dalio.

For individual investors, it’s hard to look past the noise to see if the fundamentals are sound for investing.

The focus of institutional investors including earnings/profits, interest rates, and taxes.

Generally, if companies are making money, big investors are happy to hold stock in those companies despite other happenings in the world.

Our expectation of how the stock market will perform and how it does perform are often very different.

As always, focus on your long-term strategy! Trying to use information in the short-term to make decisions about your long-term investments can often be counterproductive. You can end up selling due to fear and then missing out on gains. No ones wants that!
